Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan has been officially disbarred, months after being convicted on federal bribery and corruption charges.

According to court records, Madigan moved to have his own name removed from the Illinois attorney roll on August 19—two months before reporting to a federal prison in West Virginia to begin his 7½-year sentence. The Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) wrote that even without a formal hearing, the evidence from his February convictions clearly warranted disbarment.

The Illinois Supreme Court approved Madigan’s request this week.

Madigan, a powerful fixture in state politics for decades, was found guilty of bribery and wire fraud earlier this year. Prosecutors said he abused his political influence to benefit his private law practice and allies.

The disbarment comes as several associates tied to the broader corruption investigation also face discipline. Two figures convicted in the related “ComEd Four” bribery scheme—former Commonwealth Edison CEO Anne Pramaggiore and longtime lobbyist Mike McClain—already have suspended law licenses and are facing ARDC complaints.

Madigan reported to federal prison last month while his attorneys pursue an appeal, arguing the case criminalized “the rough-and-tumble business of state politics.”
